I appreciate your 2 cents. This thread originally started as an open forum in helping to design a suitable and affordable support. I can't say I agree with you analogy. What you are saying is that it takes the same amount of force to move 3 caps as one ? I doubt it, but then, we are all allowed our opinions. We are currently thinking of tying it into the holes in the block that are there for the other set of bolts when running 4 bolt caps. Tying into the pan rail with a one piece girdle requires a lot of material, run time and a modified oil pan. Nobody is arguing that methods effectiveness, but we all dont have the megabucks required to do that. I have talked to a few engine builders that have built more race engines that you and I will ever hope to, and they all approved of what we were doing and how we were doing it.
